Hi guys,
I have HP printer ink tank Wireless 419.

Due to travelling I was thinking if it is possible to say take out prints from different city/location.
My mother is not tech savvy at all and however she can switch on and off the printer.

So incase i want to take out some print .
Is there a simple way i can use it online .

thanks.

Make sure you keep your HP Account or the primary email attached accessible.

The printer is bound to your account now and next setup of the printer won't happen until you have access to your current HP account.

Don't know if the things changed in the last 1-2 years, I remember HP facing some backlash due to this restriction.

Noted.
tested it works but slow . that is okay.
only usually have 2-3 prints at max.

I am now trying to understand if I can change the settings like if I want A4 or colour or black and white.
 
If you have any other computer even if it's a raspberry pi which can run 24x7 in your house, you can setup tailscale to access that device and any other devices on the home network from anywhere.

Look into CUSP
open source printing protocol, turns even dumb printer smart, you gonna need another device like Raspberry Pi tho, then you can just use Tailscale (or anything like that) to connect and print from anywhere in the world.

OpenPrinting CUPS

With lack of arm drivers in general, this is going to be a struggle unless you have a supported printer. I have a Pixma TS207 which has no drivers available.
The Gutenberg drivers add more printer support.
